Looking at buying a Massey Ferguson 1825e or Kubota LX2610

So now, what is the difference in having a forward or reverse rotation tiller?
Thank you.

From my understanding, a reverse rotation will do a better job per pass but will use a little more horsepower.

I think a reverse rotation you would want to stick to 48-56 inches, offset.

60" Woods tiller? I think is to heavy for the PTO 19hp of the 1825E I thought that you need at list 35 hp for that.

My brother runs a 72" woods reverse tine tiller on his L2501 w/ hydrostatic transmission.

Thats the same pto horsepower as the 1825E.

You just go slow and let the tiller do the work.

That's absolutely impressive.

When the implement is free, you work with what your given

Dad used it on his L2250. When he traded the tractor in for his L2501, he gave the tiller to my brother. He wasn't into having a garden any more and my brother was keeping him stocked in veggies anyway.

Now I never said my brother tilled his garden fast with it. He goes slow and if the engine starts to bog, he goes even slower.

After the initial till of the season it's not a big deal.

My dealer paired the tillers with my tractor when I purchased it. I’ve never felt that I needed more power using the tiller. I’m sure soil conditions will dictate power draw though. But with the 3 speed hydro you can go pretty much as fast or slow as you want. I definitely would not go smaller, I’m not sure but a 48” might not cover the tire tracks.

It absolutely would not cover them, lol; they sell offset models that will help by setting it off behind a tire.

60" probably won't cover the tires if they are in the widest position.

Dealer put my tires on in the narrow width and they are a couple inches under the width of my 60" rotary cutter.

One of these weekends I'm gonna rotate the tires around to the widest width for stability. I'm not concerned about the tires being wider than the brush hog.

Thank you for the info
